My sister recently went to one where the mum had made rainbow crayons in butterfly shapes - she broke up some cheap crayons, different colours, into little chips, put them into a silicone butterfly shaped mini muffin tray and heated them up. Crayons melted, swirled together, set into butterflies.

She saw it in Pinterest. Of course!

For my DS2's birthday recently, I did glow stocks, bubbles, magic wands, small toys like cars and bugs, a mini pack of cards... And some lollies. My kids don't eat tons of rubbish but I don't mind it at parties. I figure parents can monitor their own kids' eating!
